While I applaud the fact that the rosary may have saved her life, one has to question whether this lady is really 59. I think the reporter may have gotten the numbers mixed up. There is no way this lady is 59 years old. She looks way older than 59. This woman is most probably in her late 70's.
I suggest they do a fact and age check to ascertain this woman's real age.She looks nothing like a 59-year-old. No way. Bravo to her in having her life saved by a rosary. Well done! But I still insist she looks older than 59.

This is what happens when people pray daily; God hears and answers; this is faith
at work. Matthew 9: 20 the woman touched the Hem of His garment, and was healed
right away. Back then, a woman was not supposed to touch the Rabbi, but she was one
of strong faith - she reached out and dared the conventional wisdom - and was healed.
Today, like my old grand mother before, never parted from her Rosery, but believed that
she could touch the love of God by the only instrument available to her, an earthly instrument
and God was touched by her love and her faith in God. God saved her. HE SAID "ONLY BELIEVE".

HAVE WE ALL MISSED THE MARK??? BELIEVE ME - IT IS ALL "FAITH" NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.
FAITH, BECAUSE SHE BELIEVES IN "GOD" period BY FAITH, SHE BELIEVED THAT IF SHE ASKED, SHE
WOULD RECEIVE; SHE KNEW THAT. CHRIST SAID - "ONLY BELIEVE" - SHE DID JUST THAT, BY FAITH.

i AM THE LAST PERSON IN THE WORLD TO EVER BELIEVE IN STATUES, ROSERYS OR ANY RIDICULOUS
ARTIFACTS. GOD IS A SPIRIT, WE WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. GOD IS SO GOOD; ONE MAY BE AN ATHEIST OR AN UNBELIEVER ALL HIS LIFE, BUT ON HIS DEATH BED ASKED TO BE FORGIVEN AND CALL ON THE LORD - BY FAITH YOU'RE SAVED. REMEMBER THE ONE ON THE CROSS NEXT TO JESUS???
TODAY, PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS, ASK HIM TO COME INTO YOUR HEART, AND BE SAVED IN JESUS.

Basically she was praying, because the Rosary is a prayer or prayers..so i will say she was in conversation with GOD, using her Rosary, this is what she knows,..FATHER have mercy on her if she truly beleives her rosary saved, but i believe deep down in her soul thats what she means...the prayers ....her faith in GOD saved her

Your bigoted, condescending comment is not needed here. You are free to believe in whatever you want and there is no need to try to impose your views.
Thank God he chooses to works in mysterious ways. If he chose to use her rosary to save her life, what wrong with that???

instead you say you was saved by gods grace you coming and say the rosary saved you? my lady i think you dont know better and could not explain it a bit clearer cause of your age and is not the rosary you wanted to say but it was your prayers and closeness to god. a rosary cant save you from nothing but its a good thing you are safe and the criminal caught

Ignorant if u knew older or knew figure of speech this is exactly what she meant by her rosary saved her .. learn dialect English is not that simple you simple ton broaden your medulla before u speak .! Clearly it’s a figure of speech ‘

Rosary saved her life? What a bunch of Balderdash, woman God sent his Angel's to protect you, not no piece of toy worn by no cult.she is 59? Damn , life really does do a number on some people, if you start by giving God the praises due to him and him alone, maybe you'll look better, oh for the love of Christ, some people are so brainwashed that they cannot see the truth.

To be honest, I don't believe that she believes it was the rosary. She prays every day (I suppose she prays in faith). So her faith/obedience saved her. The thing is, that generation may not be as articulate as we may be, so their expressions of faith may be explained by something tangible like the rosary.

Your bigoted, condescending comment is not need here. You are free to believe in whatever you want and there is no need to try to impose your views on others.
Thank God he chooses to works in mysterious ways. If he chooses to use her rosary to save her life, what wrong with that???

Was it necessary to be so harsh when referencing her age? We all don’t age similarly. She said she prays daily so obviously she believes that God saved her. The rosary happened to cause the bullet to ricochet which is what she’s able to identify as being her protection.
